[Verse 1]

I hope you’re doing well today

I think about you once or twice, each hour

Remember when you said that this would all just be a big mess?

I guess the jokes on me, my friend

But I would do it all again


[Chorus 1]

I can’t believe you’re not here next to me

And how you’ll never get to grow old with me

I’m sorry I was so in love with you; It broke my heart in two

So why did we do this to ourselves?

Why did we do this to ourselves?


[Verse 2]

I still remember our first night

You looked so gorgеous; it felt right

The way that you looked in my еyes when I said that I loved you

I used to tell you every day

And swear I’d never walk away


[Chorus 2]

I can’t believe you’re not here next to me

And the things you’d do when you were alone with me

Thinking about the hopes we had when this all just started

So why did we do this to ourselves?

Why did we do this to ourselves?


[Verse 3]

Built perfect castles in the sand

The cracks they’d escalate beyond imagination

Holding on to what was, despite knowing what we would become

Not all in life is meant to mend

And even special things must end


[Chorus 3]

I can’t believe you’re not here next to me

And how you’ll never get to grow old with me

Thinking about the hopes I had when this all just started

So why did we do this to ourselves?

Why did we do this to ourselves?


[Post-Chorus]

Why did we do this?

Oh, why did we do this?

Why did we do this to ourselves?

It all came crashing down


[Bridge]

The writings on the wall

We were running in circles from the day you let me in

Didn’t mean to let you down

Time it just stands still

I replay every moment, colors splash against my mind

Memories that never last

We gave this all we’ve got

Would always end in pain

Now I can’t dry your tears

While you’re out crying in the rain

Stuck on every high

And every damned goodbye

I’ll never let you go

I’ll just let you slip away


[Post-bridge]

Why did we do this?

Oh why did we do this?

Why did we do this to ourselves?

It all came crashing down


[Outro]

The world remembers us

The wheel keeps turning on

Like shadows in the light

Long after we are gone

I’ll meet you in the skies

Where souls go to collide
